Why aren't there potions in magic

Potions are amazing! They are extremely magical.

And yet, Magic has only two potions. And neither of them work like you'd expect a potion to work. You cannot quaff them! What is the point of a potion you can't quaff? It is meaningless.

Thank you, that will be all.

Alright here's my stab. Potions can be played as an instant and they attach to a target creature and grant it some abilities. They expire at the end of the next turn (so if you play it on your turn, it lasts through the opponent's turn, and if you play it on theirs, it lasts through yours). I'd try them as all costing hybrid 3/C I think.

Potion Belt 1
Artifact - Equipment
When Potion Belt enters the battlefield, you may exile up to two potions you own from outside the game.
Equipped player may play the exiled potions.
Equip player 1

Rage Potion 3/R
Potion
Menace, Haste, +1/-1

lots of things that are Good aren't Magical. Friday, Golly, and Grief are some examples.
